Answer:
- 20 taffy bags and 15 caramel candy bags
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given:</u>
- t = the number of taffy bags
- c = the number of caramel bags
- Number of taffy's are 5 more than caramel bags
- Taffy bags weigh 8 ounces and caramel bags weigh 16 ounces
- Total weight is 400 ounces
<u>Equations:</u>
- t = c + 5 (the difference in number of bags)
- 8t + 16c = 400 (the weight of the bags)
<u>Simplify the second equation by dividing all terms by 8:</u>
<u>Substitute t and solve for c:</u>
- c + 5 + 2c = 50
- 3c = 50 - 5
- 3c = 45
- c = 45/3
- c = 15
<u>Find the value of t:</u>
<u>Answer:</u>
- 20 taffy bags and 15 caramel candy bags
$2 can get you one candy bar. So if you want 6 it would cost $12
1. 2n + 2*5 =2
2. 2n + 10 = 2
3. 2n = 2 -10
4. 2n= -8
5. n = -8/2
6. n = -4
Answer:
D?
Step-by-step explanation:
"Starting with three, every consecutive line has 2 less than twice the previous line."
this statement means that
your staring line has 3 marbles. You multiply the 3 marblesby 2 so
3x2=6
And then you minus it by 2
6-2=4
which means that you'll get 4 marbles for the next line.
So to get your 6th line, you count how many marbles is on the 5th line but since your diagram doesn't have the 5th line you have to figure out the 5th line by counting how.many marbles is on the 4th line.
4th line = 10 marbles
10×2=20
20-2=18
5th line = 18
18×2=36
36-2=34
So the 6th line has 34 marbles.
